WWE Dropping Blu-Ray Format for Future Video Releases

As previously reported, WWE was considering the idea of dropping the Blu-Ray format for their future video releases due to declining sales. The latter portion of this year’s video releases originally planned to include Blu-Ray versions were only released on DVD instead.

In an update to this situation, website WrestlingDVDNetwork.com reported this trend will continue next year with only Wrestlemania 34 currently planned to be released on both Blu-Ray and DVD in North America. At the moment, WWE currently has seven new video releases planned between January 2nd to April 8th and none include a Blu-Ray version.
